The Napa Valley earthquake occured on August 24th, 2014 at approximately 4:20 AM. This event had a recorded magnitude of roughly 8 on the MMI scale. This event was selected for its known posistion as well as large amount of correlating data in two seperate formats.The data we used are a shakemap dataset produced by the USGS that tracks and records seismic activity using a combination of USGS ground sensors in congunction with a suite of sensors that people may self select to place in their basements for remote monitoring by the USGS. This data was paired with a cleaned and prepped twitter api dataset that contained tweets that were geolocated, as well as had a selection of keywords that narrowed the tweets scope to pertaining to earthquakes. The goal of this research is to assertain how a collection of tweets could be used in parallel with scientific, and what some possible outcomes could be.
